Sends removed attachments

During the composition of a message, if a user removes or updates an
attachments in Outlook 2002 or Outlook 2003 then sends the message, the
recipient receives the new and the removed attachments!

This is a major problem for us. Some project managers, after
double-checking, are in the practice of requesting changes to documents that
they have attached to a draft message. They remove the attachment and attach
a revised version to the message before sending it. The original attachments
no longer appears in the list of attachments but somehow shows up in the
message that the recipient receives.

The described bug puts senders at risk of sending duplicate, incorrect and
or confidential information to clients.

This phenomenon also applies to inserted images. I’ve encountered this
myself when I try to resend a message that I modify with changed images. The
old ones still appear as attachments…
